Middle for lighting, left and right alternating for clenching, left hand if held, except when I use my right hand while doing something else with my left hand.

I'm fascinated by the late Jack Hargreaves centre clench with his Falcon but letting it droop while lunting, can not replicate.

Mostly left, often center, right only when I consciously try to do so. I usually hold the pipe in my left, such as now, cause I’m thumbing out this post with my right

On the right, on the left, or in the center?
Yes. It is mobile depending on the direction of the breeze. If no breeze, left hand places it on the left. I have no control over what it does. I just tell it to get the pipe into my mouth and leave the details of how it accomplishes the task for it to decide.

No center position for me. Right and left alternate, with a greater percentage on the right unless I am driving. Left is more typical while driving the truck or car though….. perhaps because it is closer to the slightly open window, I suppose. And, also left in the vehicle more frequently due to shifting (I have and prefer manual transmissions).

Both hands and left and right and centre of my teeth and between my toes, doesn't matter what toes, the only place I don't is, trying to be polite, under my coaxes and before my sack. :oops:
